My 80 year old patient who is about to go into hospice asked me if she dies before the year is over does she still have to pay her taxes.
At least she can cheat one of them she says.
This year has been terrible for me in the romance department. One girl just stopped spending time with me.
One girl turned out too young to drink. One girl turned out to be a hungry cougar. And then when I finally decided
to take a hiatus, I fall into this relationship with a married woman. Well she didn't tell me she was married.
I would think that's something you should say, at least by the third date anyway. Damn it all to Belize.

My father grew up very poor. He still lives a depression era lifestyle even though he doesn't really need to
and he works in a grocery store even though he doesn't really need it.
So of course he was upset when his store closed down and Dad was laid off.
He was happy when they decided to transfer him to another store instead. It was on the other side
of town though. And he had to work with a bunch of Taiwanese men.
The men always brag about their kids and Dad is always Silent. My father's Mandarin is terrible.
One of the kids' friends went to medical school and then went to New York. And now he's doing a speciality.
It took dad a week to finally realize they were talking about his own son. He said it was funny
because for a full week he was envious of those guys who had sons who were doing so well.

I guess i'm happy with where I am now. The ex seems happy too. Best revenge for both us.
